# 42 Joshua Tree


We had been to Joshua Tree before a couple of times but it was a good place to stop between Seal Beach & Winterhaven. We actually stayed outside the park on BLM property just before the south entrance. The campgrounds inside are just asphalt pads with no amenities, essentially boon docking on a hard surface. So it just made sense to us to boon dock on a packed sand surface where BLM camping is free. We used the dump station inside the park for a $5 fee. We had fabulous sunsets at our free spot. We also wanted to visit our friends, Penny Atlee & her son Tony, who live in Rancho Mirage which is a short drive from Joshua Tree. 


Joshua Tree is known for Joshua trees, DUH, but also GIANT ROCKS. We included some rock pictures from a former visit when we actually camped inside the park. There’s a picture of our campsite so you’ll get a feeling of scale.
